Dino Hunt
Now through Aug. 2
The dinosaurs aren’t extinct…they’re stomping around Leavenworth! Stop by the Children’s desk for your dino hunt sheet. Each week, the Library will share a brand new clue on social media, on the website and inside the Library. Read the clue carefully – it will lead you to a favorite Leavenworth spot somewhere in town. When you discover the dinosaur, write down the secret code on the back of your sheet. Then, bring your paper back to the Library to spin the prize wheel and collect your prize(s).
Week 4 (June 14-20) Clue:
This dinosaur didn’t go extinct… it stepped back in time!
Find it where a grand old Victorian mansion keeps history in mind.
Find the Dinosaur
in the Haystack
Now through July 31
- Find the golden dinosaur book hidden somewhere in the Library.
- Take it to the Main desk to claim a mini dino prize.
- Then discreetly hide it somewhere else in the Library for another patron to find.
Get ready to dig in to a summer adventure with stories and activities about dinosaurs, archaeology and paleontology. We have a lot of activities planned for all ages – babies through adults.
